The alpine Ski-World Cup final in Lenzerheide 2005

The World Cup finals promise to be extremely exciting, then both of the large globes, as well as six of the small crystal trophies, are yet to be claimed. Only the two slalom globes have been taken already, by Benjamin Raich, AUT, and Tanja Poutiainen, FIN.
